Best Answer

The "Number of Laps" would be dependent on both the length of the race and the length of the race track where the race is being run. In American Thoroughbred racing, the commonly raced distances are from 5 furlongs (a furlong is 1/8th of a mile) to 1 and 1/2 miles. Quarter horses race in sprints that are between an 1/8th of a mile to a over 1/2 mile in length. Almost all North American harness races competed at a distance of about a mile. Horses can also run other races that aren't like track racing, such as endurance racing.The races typically aren't competed on tracks and can be over hundreds of miles and require days to complete.
